Tactics/Bait: Don’t forget about the old reliable inflated nightcrawler. The bigger stocked trout love them some worms . Thomas Buoyants and Rapalas were doing well in the lake. In the creek salmon eggs were the hot ticket. The most successful Powerbait colors were yellow and rainbow. The Inlet was the hottest spot this week. Other locations fishing well were Hangman’s Tree, Jetty South and North Shore.

Weather: Highs are going to be in the mid 70’s and the lows in the low 50’s. Chances of afternoon thunderstorms throughout the beginning of next week. Here is the National Weather Service link that is usually quite accurate: 7-Day Forecast Convict Lake.
